Trump Bans Burning U.S. Flag: One-Year Jail for Offenders

Today, President Trump signed a sweeping executive order cracking down on flag desecration across the United States. Under the new rules, anyone caught burning the American flag faces up to one year in prison, with no early release allowed. The Department of Justice is empowered to enforce penalties, prosecute offenders, and ensure that symbolic attacks on national pride are treated seriously. Supporters praise the move as a defense of national dignity, while critics question its impact on long-standing legal protections.
